Some passing thoughts about news media

Working people will continue to vote against their own interests as long as the information they get is controlled by those who own monopolized media.

We need to break up the monopolies. Given that the current power-structure will not do this, direct and organized action from consumers is required, to put market pressures on media sponsors to influence policy and/or content at broadcasters.

Until the media outlets in a given place are once again many and of different owners, enough to enable outlets to focus on viewpoints of their own choice, there must be a requirement that those dominating coverage for a given area provide fair and balanced coverage. This fair and balanced coverage should be demanded directly, by organized consumers, as we simultaneously work to re-establish a government that truly represents the population as a whole and not just the aristocracy/theocracy/corporatocracy.
